As far as the expenses, it would be reasonable to ask that the one filing the motion to relocate foot the bill. The visitation schedule is a bit trickier to know what the judge will see reasonable. Request what you want and hope the judge agrees to most of it at least. It should help that...

Guess I should also add, that if the LL agrees you are not longer responsible for the lease, get it in writing. Otherwise you may regret it in the long run.

You need to speak to the LL to pursue what you want to do. You are responsible for the months the room was empty, but being it is now rented, you should have an argument to get off the lease. As far as to what the new tenant is paying is none of your concern so I wouldn't get caught up in...

Your best advice is to cut off verbal contact. Send the demand letter exactly how I said earlier, demanding the return of the the remaining deposit. If he fails to comply, you sue him. If you have proof, as you stated, of the condition when you moved out, and the new tenants moved in less...

Am I wrong, because I thought it was the custodial parent's responsibility to file for child support from the absent parent, and child support enforcement's job to enforce the support order? Maybe it is different on the west coast I guess?

Was there ever a modification to the custody order that granted you full physical custody? If not, I am pretty sure it would still hold true. If so, you would have to petition to modify the order back to you having physical custody and let a judge decide if it shall be or not.

The best advice I think anyone could give you would be to consult with a lawyer in your area, which is not very expensive and sometimes even free. If it does go to court you will want the help, and if you pay the debt and want to recoup some of the loss, you will still be in court and a lawyer...

They did not break any laws so, yes it is legal. You won't recover any of the broker fee unless you are somehow able to sweet talk them into giving it to you, but that is a very long shot. You should take your losses and just leave it at that, you don't really have any negotiating power here...

I beg to differ Ctryder. NO ONE can really know how the judge will rule, so the OP could win or could lose no matter the evidence. It sounds like a reasonable argument that is being made. Also, if the new tenants moved in practically as soon as the OP moved out, it would be hard for the LL to...

This is what I meant as well. Just because it is legal to give the 3-day pay or quit notice, does not mean the annoying roommate will leave. If the roommate refuses to still leave, which they probably will, she will have to go through the actual eviction process to have a Judge order an...

Here is an idea, find a rental place that will agree to those terms. OR, if you can get approved to move into a place that won't accept the money for the year lease up front, place the money you have saved in a savings account, taking out the money to cover the rent each month while your...

YOU nor your landlord can evict the roommate. ONLY a Judge can do that. It is the responsibility of you landlord to go to the clerk at the local court to start the process. Unless the landlord LEGALLY evicts this person, meaning filing through court and it being granted by the Judge, the...

Great Advice! To address the other comment, people lie all the time, especially if it is for a friend, which they could be, no one knows either way. If tree roots are the problem, then wouldn't your landlord realize that there are holes in the pipe the roots busted through which will lead...

Yeah, I think she is starting to look at that option. I told her she may as well also kiss the security deposit good bye as well. Not like she will ever see a penny of it even if she won a judgment in small claims court. If he can't pay his bills, I doubt he still has it in saving or...

See that's the funny thing, he actually just informed her a couple weeks ago that he was raising the rent $150 more a month, and refused to do a new month to month agreement or an actual lease(she wanted something in writing stating the changes such as a lease). He informed her via e-mail. I...

She is on a month to month tenancy now, so I am not sure of any protections that would provide other than the 90 days if she is evicted. It shouldn't make a difference as far as if someone buys it or the bank takes it back, correct? I told her if someone buys it as investment property, they...

My older sister is renting a town home that is set for auction on August 3rd. It was set for auction last August, but her landlord negotiated a short sale to prevent the auction. Well a year later, it hasn't sold and the bank is moving forward with the foreclosure process. Her landlord told...

He needs to immediately contact the clerk of courts where you live and ask what is the proper paper work to fill out to establish paternity and to file for custody or visitation of some sort. Without doing so, there isn't a whole lot he could do to stop her from leaving with the child being as...

Virginia will have jurisdiction so she couldn't file in Washington. If she wants to leave and he refuses to let the kids go, she can call the police. They will come and tell her that without a court order, they can not make him let them go, which would obviously be proof she didn't abandon...

I think it would be considered a month to month tenancy or tenancy at will. You only option would be to seek relief in small claims court if the so called friend refuses to pay. Even if you win, you still probably won't see the money and is it even worth it for such a small amount. I would...
